MINA

Love the frame, hate the lenses. The blue light lenses are very distracting, and have a yellow tinge. I have asked to exchange the lenses.

It looks nicer on the website, but generally OK

5-star frames, 4-star photochromatic lenses

I love Vint & York frames so much, the Mina was my third purchase! I’m very happy with the frames themselves. They’re super comfortable, lightweight, they fit my narrow face perfectly, and the modern take on the cat eye is very chic. I paid extra for photochromatic lenses, and that’s where I’m disappointed. They barely darken at all, only to an ochre color, no darker. I expected ZEISS PhotoFusion X Lenses, which darken to a true brown. Regardless, I love my Mina’s and will rotate them with the Stardust when I’m feeling edgy (they’re green!) and Rarebird when I’m feeling retro (the most classic cat eye of the three) after I take the latter to get sized. They’re too wide, and because they’re a hefty, oversized frame, they slide down my nose constantly! Oh, but they do get the most attention, resulting in compliments from strangers while I’m walking down the city streets! My bank account hates you, V&Y, but eye love you!
